On June 21, 1925, Thanh Nien newspaper - the mouthpiece of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association founded by leader Nguyen Ai Quoc published its first issue, marking the birth of Vietnam's revolutionary press. On February 5, 1985, the Central Party Secretariat issued Decision No. 52-QD/TW, officially choosing June 21 every year as Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day.
Throughout the glorious 100-year journey, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has always accompanied the nation and the country, worthy of being the core force, the pioneer on the ideological and cultural front. The revolutionary press has made great contributions to the cause of fighting for national independence, as well as in the cause of building, protecting and developing the country. The past century has been a journey of the Vietnamese revolutionary press constantly serving the Fatherland, serving the people, and deeply attached to the revolutionary cause of the Party.
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day, on June 19 in Hanoi, the Central Propaganda and Education Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Vietnam Journalists Association , and Vietnam Post Corporation jointly organized a special issuance ceremony of the postage stamp set "Commemorating the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (1925-2025)."
The event was held within the framework of the activities of the National Press Festival 2025, co-organized by the Central Propaganda and Education Commission, the Vietnam Journalists Association, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism .

With a modern, concise graphic design style and harmonious layout, the stamp set deeply expresses the meaning of the connection between tradition and modernity, paying tribute to the past and looking towards the future.
The central image of the stamp is the red flag with a yellow star fluttering along with the portrait of President Ho Chi Minh - the great teacher of Vietnamese Revolutionary Journalism.
